The problem here is this line in the debian/rules:

DEB_MAKE_INSTALL_TARGET = ""

This happened to work in previous releases because the tests were performed 
using shell code, but obviously double quotes have no special meaning for 
make.  Just change it to

DEB_MAKE_INSTALL_TARGET =

and it will be fine.
